“IBM7094 is the oldest Vocaloid. Long before Hatsune Miku, it sang “Daisy Bell” in 1961, marking the dawn of computer-synthesized vocals”.

People in 1961 after the first song sung by a computer dropped. "Daisy, daisy, give me your answers do." 🔥🔥🔥

One of the funniest scenes in family guy 😂

Am i the one scared hearing this

this is still my favorite family guy joke

its a good fucking song

No way 😳

You could convince me this is just a recent @JackStauber song

first song ever sung by a computer? is this a digital circus thing? is it because Caine is an ai? im so confused

Stuff is weird

Old cartoon logic is something else

Who else found this cringe asf .

Dave… stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it.

Ah, nothing beats the classics.

The fact that they pulled this off in 1961 is impressive. It would be 20 more years before we saw regular CGI programming with voice actors (and we're still trying to fix the computer voice in 2025).

This is slowed down and edited for an eerie effect This is the original

The graphics are prob from 25+ years later.

Bro that's peak

Pretty good for s first song

This is perhaps the best thing produced by the internet in recent history.

Throwback to 1961: The first song ever sung by a computer! 🤯 An IBM 7094 at Bell Labs performed "Daisy Bell," thanks to early speech synthesis by John Kelly and music by Max Mathews. 💻🎶 This eerie, unforgettable moment inspired HAL 9000’s famous farewell in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

This eerie computer lab in North Korea

My first reaction seeing this

Autonomous valet robot

R.I.P. HAL 9000...

The hell

Now shift each of the letters in HAL one place up in the alphabet. Easter eggs everywhere in "2001".

How did you find that
